FileSalvage is device and file system independent, which means that the user can recover files from a normal Mac OS hard drive, USB key, PC disk, Linux disk, FAT32 disk, FLASH card, Digital Camera, iPod (non-iOS based), and almost any other media or file system that can be recognized in Mac OS X.

Quick Tip: Chance of Recovery

FileSalvage cannot recover deleted files that have been overwritten by new data. Having said this, due to the way in which data is distributed across file systems when being copied, there is often a decent chance that recently deleted files have not yet been overwritten, though there are no guarantees. FileSalvage is designed to recover files not repair them.

FileSalvage can currently recover over 100 file types, embedded and stand-alone (see Recovery File Types List). It will recover both computer files and RAW camera files, as it works on digital camera memory cards. In addition, FileSalvage is constantly being enhanced and updated with an increasing number of file types to salvage. For the most current list of salvageable file types, please visit our web site at: http://www.subrosasoft.com/

With its advanced features and performance, the easy-to-use interface was designed with every level of OS X user in mind and is highly accessible to all, with the potential completion of the whole recovery process within just a few clicks.

FileSalvage Features

Written specifically for Mac OS X, FileSalvage includes powerful features that give the user greater control and flexibility in analyzing and retrieving lost data:

Works anywhere - FileSalvage is device and file system independent. This means that the user can recover files from a hard drive, digital camera, USB key, PC disk, FLASH card, scratched CD, and most storage media that work with the Mac.

Recovers files after a disk or device has been formatted - Own an initialized disk or other device with files that you want back? No problem! So long as the drive was not securely initialized, FileSalvage should be able to recover the files from the drive.

Quick Tip: Secure Erase

FileSalvage will not be able to recover data that has been securely erased from a device or media, a process that involves overwriting the drive's data several times. Most operating systems only perform a "quick format" by default and so unless the user consciously performed a secure initialization the chances of recovery are high.

Recovers files from corrupt media - Data corruption does not stop FileSalvage from working. In fact it will happily process an entire corrupted file system for intact data and recover whole or partial files wherever it finds them.

FileSalvage works on faulty hardware - FileSalvage can also recover data from mechanically unsound devices. In addition to several tried and tested methods, SubRosaSoft has implemented additional improvements to read the same piece of information and to automatically skip of areas of the file system that are fully unreadable. By employing these methods, FileSalvage is able to recover data from sources that may have appeared to other software to be too physically broken to use.

Searches for deleted files only - On HFS+ volumes, the user can limit FileSalvage to scan only the free space of a volume to recover files from. This produces huge speed efficiency and means that the task of recovering files can be accomplished much quicker.

Preview - Allows the user to preview a range of available files before choosing to recover them. Using the underlying architecture of Mac OS X, FileSalvage can read and display audio, video, image, text, pdf, and other files.

Thanks for all your help to date. Your software is recovering EVERYTHING that
was deleted. Very worth the $39.

I work with over 50 young creatives at an advertising
shop. Most of them have iPods. I'm going to send an email to the entire department
about your product
should they ever get into the same jam. I know iPod just hides the missing/deleted
files and somebody that knows what they're doing can recover them. But, this
app makes it so easy for the common guy.
